Hermon, Maine (August 2024) – Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designers, and manufacturers of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, have answered the call from GLOCK® pistol owners and proudly unveil the Hydra MARCK-15 9mm H17 Modular Rifle.
With millions of GLOCK pistols owned by responsible civilians and law enforcement professionals, the need for a modular AR platform that could accept GLOCK 9mm magazines was apparent. The team at Hydra Weaponry designed the new Hydra MARCK-15 9mm H17 rifle to accept magazines from any GLOCK model 17, 19, 26, 34, 45, and 48 pistol, including the new Gens. For civilians and law enforcement, the option of using a pistol and AR rifle in the same caliber is not only cost effective, but also reduces training time, and for LE officers provides better cross-training, reduces errors, builds officer confidence, and provides officers with additional resources, especially under duress.
Built on the Hydra Modular Lower Receiver incorporating the new 9mm H17 magazine well, and the Hydra Quick Change Barrel Upper Receiver (QCB-D), the rifle features a Hydra 16-inch 9mm blowback barrel and bolt, and 9mm GLOCK-style magazine. The rugged B5 Systems stock and pistol grip provides the user with incredible durability in unpredictable environmental circumstances.
Additionally, now the owner of the Hydra MARCK-15 9mm H17 Modular rifle can use this as the base to expand caliber capabilities through Hydra Weaponry’s growing magazine well and caliber conversion kits. Easy to change out, even in the field, the rifle requires no tools to convert to another caliber with the most the user will ever need to change out is the barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier, and the magazine well to the new caliber.
“We are proud to offer this Maine-made AR system to the American public and law enforcement that continue to passionately carry GLOCK 9mm pistols as their daily EDC, or for competition, self-defense, or as the job requires,” Mack Gwinn III, CEO of Hydra Weaponry, summed up.
Dealers interested in carrying the new Hydra MARCK-15 9mm H17 Modular Rifle, should contact Tanner Smart for the Hydra Dealer Program.
